Dental Implants have revolutionised the world of reconstructive dentistry. We see firsthand the transformation of lives when we incorporate dental implants into our treatment plans. Our Implants allow us to build solid foundations, whether replacing a single tooth in a smile or reconstructing a complete complement of teeth. The design is continuously evolving, materials are improving and new treatment methods are being devised.
AND CDE Durbanville are at the forefront of it all and is proud to offer you the best from the world of implant dentistry.
Contrary to belief, receiving a dental implant need not be painful or traumatic. We know that experience is as much about the physical procedure as it is about the mental process. We prepare you for both. This is why we allow you to relax with a cup of tea before we apply the anaesthetic and allow time for it to work. Dr Lara or Dr Heinrich will then perform the procedure which takes between 10 and 20 minutes depending on each case. We place your implant with precision and then apply a healing cap into position. A radiograph (x-ray) is taken to confirm the position of the dental implant.
Apart from slight discomfort for a day, 9/10 patients report no pain following the procedure. We will then set up a second appointment in the next 12 weeks for the manufacturing of the final implant crown.
Now that your implant is integrated and solid, we may make the perfect crown. Again, Dr Lara or Dr Heinrich will once again anaesthetise the area and allow time for it to work properly. We will then place your implant abutment, which connects the implant body to the crown portion. Once in place and confirmed, a scan will be taken using the latest intra-oral scanner from Sirona®. This allows them to create a 3D digital model on a computer where the design process starts.
By the time your crown has been milled and hits the oven at 840°C, you will be enjoying your second cup of coffee whilst catching up on your favourite Netflix. Once this is complete, your crown will be placed and your bite will be checked to make sure that it is accurate. We recommend that your dental implants should be examined every 6 months.
